8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch DGS-1008A

The first of the Green Ethernet products the DGS-1008A provides 3 key
benefits to end users through its cutting edge innovative eco-friendly
technology
Reduces power consumption & creates less heat
Extended product life
Reduces Operating Costs
Power Savings by Number of Connected Ports and Link Status
Computers do not require Internet access all the time; neither do
switches utilize all ports at all times. When a computer or network
equipment is shutdown, switches often remain on and continue to consume
considerable amount of power. With Green Ethernet technology, D-Link
switches can automatically detect link status and reduce power usage of
ports that are idle. Computers or any connecting parties set to standby
mode (not power off), however, will not provide significant power
savings.

Power Savings by Cable Length
The Green Ethernet switches have the ability to analyze the length of
any Ethernet cable connected to them for adjustment of power usage
accordingly. Shorter lengths require less power.

Overall Power Savings Per Day
For a traditional switch, power consumption remains constant even when
the ports are not in use. In a standard workday scenario where PCs are
used for 10 hours a day and powered off 14 hours a day, and connected to
the switch using 20 meter cables, D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up
to 40%* power used for each system.

Note: Switch uses switching power adapter. The cable length which PCs are connected to switch is 20m cables.

Get the blazing speed of Gigabit Ethernet with the D-Link DGS-1008A, an
8-port Gigabit Switch that delivers power, performance, and reliability
in one cost-effective, space-saving design. Increase the speed of your
network server and backbone connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a
reality.

Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production
environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster.
Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files across the network
instantly.

Power-Packed
The D-Link DGS-1008A Gigabit Switch features a non-blocking switching
architecture that filters and forwards packets at full wire-speed for
maximum throughput. An 8,000 MAC address table provides scalability for
even the largest networks. Address learning and aging, 802.3x Flow
Control for full duplex mode, and back pressure flow control for
half-duplex mode alleviates traffic congestion and ensures reliable data
transmission.

Designed using industry standards, it is compatible with virtually all
10, 100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices and other vendor equipment. The
D-Link DGS-1008A 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch protects your existing
network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration
path to faster Gigabit speeds.

Easy to use
The auto features of this gigabit switch make installation plug and play
and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover
on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cables or uplink ports.
Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device
(either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for
compatibility and optimal performance.

It also features diagnostic LEDs which display status and activity,
allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network.

* Power savings may vary depending on products used.
Maximum power savings when compared to a D-Link conventional switch.
Uses up to 80% less energy when connected devices are powered down and
up to 40% less energy when connected devices are used 10 hours and
powered down 14 hours over a 24-hour period, when connected via 20 meter
Ethernet cables.
